拾萬北京 | “奇想之春”对谈：张雪瑞·周力

张雪瑞

1979年生于山西，现生活和工作于北京。2004年毕业于中央美术学院。绘画和装置是张雪瑞主要的创作媒介，“格子”作为创作构建元素已被多次反复提及，而“心”形语言最早被使用，是在2012年她从熟人的衣物上剪下了一个心形，诉说了一个真实故事。她有意弱化原本出于情感表达的初期体验，让其抽离惯有所指变得宽广自由。一如她在艺术劳作时想到家人的日常劳作，希冀自己以“平常心”的状态获得松弛自在。但心的一动一念，怎会轻易受控，我们还是可以在2021年和2022年的两件作品中，感受到了它的颤动，破碎与重建，柔软与尖锐。

Born in Shanxi in 1979, Zhang Xuerui now lives and works in Beijing. She graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2004. Painting and installation are Zhang Xuerui's main creative mediums.“Square” as her creative construction element has been mentioned many times, while the "heart" shape element was first introduced in 2012 when she cut out a heart-shape pattern on the clothes of her acquaintance, telling a true story. She deliberately weakened the initial experience of emotional expression, allowing it to withdraw from the habitual meaning and become broad and free. Just as she thought about her family's everyday routines when she was working on art, she hoped that she would be relaxed and comfortable in a state of "ordinary mind". However, how can the movement of the heart be easily controlled? We can still feel its trembling, breaking and rebuilding in the two works in 2021 and 2022.

周力

1995-2003年生活和工作于法国，现生活和工作于深圳。1991年毕业于中国广州美术学院油画系，2015年被聘中山大学艺术文化创新与发展研究中心、抽象与当代艺术研究所所长

2013年至今，受聘于广州美术学院客座教授。“桃花源”确切的地理位置无从考证，它指向人们在当下所需要的一个属于自己的精神乐园，包含了现实社会尚未实现的愿景：人与人，人与万物和谐美好地共生互爱的生态。《桃花源》作品源于艺术家对生命循环往复的体验与理解，粉色既有回忆，也像新生儿的皮肤。生死相伴，当逝去发生时，充满爱的色彩又成为抚慰伤痛的光晕。在这个以“仁”为核心的愿景里，粉色如自然来复之气韵，如人心柔韧之力量。在由此幻化的绘画意境中，你可以闻到花香，看到远山，听到鸟鸣，品到甘露，感受到自我与世界在取消边界后的奇妙共存。

Since 2013, she has been employed as a visiting professor of Guangzhou Academy of fine arts. The exact geographical location of "The Peach Garden" cannot be verified. It points to a spiritual paradise that people need at the moment, which contains the unfulfilled vision of the real society: an ecology where people and people, people and all things live in harmony and love each other. The works of " The Peach Garden "series originated from the artist's experience and understanding of the cycle of life. Pink brought back memories, and it also symbolized the skin color of a newborn. Life and death are accompanied. When the passing happened, the color of love became a halo to soothe the pain. In this vision with "benevolence" as the core, pink is like the charm of nature and the strength and resilience from the human heart. In this illusory mood of painting, you can smell the fragrance of flowers, see distant mountains, listen to bird song, taste nectar, and feel the wonderful coexistence of the self and the world after the boundary is disappeared.
